racquets passing over the net

**Intr3pid** · 10-22-2005, 03:29 PM

hi

I was wondering if racquets can pass a bit over the net. Because sometimes my drives requires me to move my racquet realy fast and sometimes it goes a wee bit over the net ( not touching it of course )

Yes you can do this! As long as you hit the bird on your side of the net and the racket passes over the net as part the motion, there is no problem!

nope, tbone is corect, as long as you make contact on your side of the net then cross over its ok but if your racquet touches the net then its a fault or if you dont make contact on your side of the net its a fault.

So to clarify:

1) OK if I make contact with the shuttle on my side and the racket crosses the net.

2) Not OK if I make contact with the shuttle on my side and the racket hits the net.

Can this be said: any time during the point, if you touch the net, you lose that point.

1) correct but dont try and pass it too much now lol
2) correct and ... correct, dont touch net.

No
only the racquet may pass over the net as part of your follow through
No part of you body is allowed to pass over the net
(under and around the net are different matters)

What's the rulling about body parts passing under the net and around the net?

13. Faults
It is a 'fault':

13.4 if, in play, a player:
13.4.2 invades an opponent's court over the net with the racket or person except as permitted in Law 13.3;

13.3 if, when in play, the initial point of contact with the shuttle is not on the striker's side of the net. (The striker may, however, follow the shuttle over the net with the racket in the course of a stroke);

So yes, it is ok to physically reach over under certain conditions.

Edit: Forgot to address under and around the net.

13.4.3 invades an opponent's court under the net with racket or person such that an opponent is obstructed or distracted;

As for around the net, the poles are usually located well outside the court so that it makes it nearly impossible to reach around...

Rule 13 Faults
Rule 13.4.3 Invade an opponent's court under the net with racket or person such that an opponent is obstructed or distracted.

Therefore, as long as the opponent is not obstructed or distracted, the player is entitled to pass under the net.

around the net rarely happens.
it is most likely to be when a players has to run from the back of the court to the front very quickly and cannot stop before touching the net, so their whole body continues forward and goes around the post

I remember Ha Tae Kwon doing this in a match between KDM/HTK and Candra/Sigit. Candra playfully aimed a kick at Ha's backside as he was returning to his own side of the net
